I just downloaded the 87.4 MB file for the free progecade smart. It said file trasfer complete but when I went to run the program, it said the file size should be 91 MB. Therefore, it won't run. Before I download the same file again which takes me about 3 hours - any suggestions?
Thanks

A few questions: Can you download other large files successfully (like progeCAD Professional)? Have you had this problem before with other large downloads? The largest file I have tacked is about 20 MB and no problems with that.

Where are you located? Chiang Mai Thailand

What is your download speed? In country it is 200 kbps

What kind of connection do you have (ADSL, CABLE, DIALUP, T1/E1 etc) Slow ADSL!

What time of the day did you try it? 7-10 in the evening

What kind of anti-virus are you running? Norton

What browser are you using? Have you tried downloading the same file with another program like wget? Internet explorer

Sounds like a combination of slow connection, possible browser and anti-virus problem. We especially discourage downloading the software with Norton running, anyhow, because the anti-virus scanner has been well known to change the binary contents of our installer, thus corrupting the file! There are a few things you can try:

1) Disable anti-virus until download, install and registration is finished.
2) Try during different time of day.
3) Use a command-line utility like wget to download.
